Impaired aortic distensibility and elevated central blood pressure in Turner Syndrome: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Table 2 Pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis in Turner syndrome and healthy age-matched controls

	Turner Syndrome	Controls	P-value
Augmentation index [%]^b	31.4 [27.9–34.9]	24.4 [20.3–28.5]	0.02
Augmentation index [%] without CoA^c	31.3 [27.5–35.21]	24.4 [20.3–28.5]	0.04
Pulse wave velocity [m/s]^a	6.76 [6.39–7.16]	6.9 [6.56–7.32]	0.6
Central systolic blood pressure [mmHg]^b	114.3 ± 13.1	111.3 ± 16.4	0.4
Central diastolic blood pressure [mmHg]^b	78.8 ± 9.92	73.7 ± 8.94	0.02

Central systolic blood pressure, central diastolic blood pressure, and Augmentation index were derived from the pulse wave analysis
